Product Description Jade is a curious little girl who has questions about her complexion, and her mommy is going to help her understand that her skin color does not define her beauty by instilling self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-awareness. Jade will learn just how Pretty her Melanin is! About the Author Markita Richards is a wife, a mother of three, daughter, sister, aunt, self-awareness coach, and advocate. Pretty Melanin Me has been produced to help promote self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-love in little girls of color. Markita holds a degree in Psychology and believes in educating little girls on the importance of loving themselves from within. Pretty Melanin Me is her debut children's book and the introductory series of stories on building resilience in children. Markita believes that by instilling self-value in little girls at a young age, they will likely not feel objectified by social standards to look and be a certain way. Pretty Melanin Me is a story about how beautiful Melanin is. It is never too early to teach little girls the importance of self-love and self-awareness to steer from society's idealization of what pretty is and to break the pathology of colorism.
